Hi Jamie,

I guess links we make depend on our method of study. Typically, when I study after my lexicon work, I then move to commentaries. So, I just made an external link from BWorks to Logos commentaries search and then I do a search on my collection of NT commentaries or OT commentaries. Just my way of doing it. God Bless

While I was waiting for an answer I hacked in a program to do the call to "Logos - WBC" for me. It basically decides what book in Logos to call based on a reference mapping text file, like so

Thanks Jamie. $399 is not a bad price at all. I wonder if that sale is still going on? Of course, with WBC, as with any like commentary series, some volumes are better than others. I definitely like Wenham on Genesis though.

Call to Libronix collection of WBC

I don't have WBC, but one of the following should work:
First make a collection in WBC (if not already done). The collection name cannot have any spaces.

In the Bibleworks External Links Manager setup a Verse Reference export with the following call
libronixdls:keylink|ref=[en]bible:<Book>%20<Chapter>%3A<Verse>|collection-name=(collection name, with no space, parenthesis, brackets, or anything.)

Thanks Jamie. $399 is not a bad price at all. I wonder if that sale is still going on? Of course, with WBC, as with any like commentary series, some volumes are better than others. I definitely like Wenham on Genesis though.

Where do you find it for $399.00?

That was exactly what I was looking for. It is a much more elegant solution. Thanks for your help! It is appreciated greatly.

The scripts are doing basically what I am doing, but in JScript. The advantage of using my method of an external mapping file is that the user could create their own mappings for different commentary collections and the program would work with no change to the code. This means I don't need to code a new script for every situation.

Jordan,

It was a deal on Facebook. The code was FBWBC but I think it ended Sept. 8th. From reading people's comments it seems that the deal comes around every once in a while.

Thanks, this works great. I used this code to make Logos open to the verse I'm on in BW in the ESV in Logos and it works wonderfully.
